Here I finally am, at Prague! The day has been insanely long, since I woke up at 2.55 am and have been going on all day, but damn I am happy! To be honest, today’s touring was more about finding food and checking out the general vibe of the city than seriously investigating sights –…

Apologies in advance to all the Michael Bublé haters, but his Christmas album is simply too much of a classic to skip—even for me! It’s also fitting for the occasion, as I’m about to embark on a trip to Prague in the Czech Republic and Dresden in Germany. Don’t worry, though—I’ll be home for Christmas…

FINALLY, IT IS TIME TO DECORATE! I have really needed to restrain myself this year, but I am also one of those people who think Christmas decorations belong to December and not a day before. I remember my mom always decorating on Independence Day (which is tomorrow, by the way), but that has not much…
